Chapter 45: Insidious
Jiang Ning had only slept for a while before he was woken up by the noise outside.
He drew the picture well, there is nothing to say, in fact, this picture has brought a big surprise to everyone.
Put aside the muddy water behind it, and return to the tragedy itself, at least we have to find out who the murderer is.
Ye Chen advised, Jiang Ning went home to sleep. The City Lord's Mansion also posted a notice, of course, the notice can't say the five ancestors of the Desolate Clan, after all, this is the border area, and saying it will cause a huge panic. So he only said that the imperial court escorted a batch of precious goods, which were targeted by a group of desolate clans and demon cultivators, and there were even masters equivalent to the realm of human immortals in the middle, who set up an ambush in Shiliang Mountain. In this battle, only one person escaped by luck and reported to the court in time. The remaining two battalions of soldiers and many masters escorted by the imperial court were basically wiped out.
Although I knew that there was a lot of bad luck, when I saw the notice, many families wept and wailed.
There are many officers and soldiers who are the pillars of the family, and the city lord's mansion will issue some pensions, so how much money can be given, in fact, the family situation is not good, and if a pillar is sacrificed, the family is also scattered.
Many people didn't notice that it was the person who escaped.
But some people also paid attention, they inquired around, and now when it was time to announce the truth, the City Lord's Mansion did not hide it, and soon let people inquire that it was Jiang Ning who escaped.
Many of these people didn't know who Jiang Ning was, and it could even be said that half of the people in Licheng City didn't know the names of their superiors, officials, and owners.
Since they can find out that Jiang Ning has escaped, many of these families are well-informed, and some of their family conditions are not bad. Of course, Jiang Ning is not Jiang Ning, but Dao Hanbai, the book book of the City Lord's Mansion, so that the Dao family's hated Dao underwrites the adopted son who was brought back from Taiping City.
These people found the door, Jiang Ning's house is now living in the Jiang family, and the Jiang family knows that Jiang Ning escaped, but they don't know that Jiang Ning came back last night. However, there is no shortage of well-informed people among these people, and they immediately thought of the cave behind Jiang's house, knocked on the door, and Jiang Ning had no choice but to get up.
Most people have a good attitude, and the notice is not clear, so ask Jiang Ning in detail.
A few people have a bad mentality, so many soldiers have sacrificed, why can you escape? Jiang Ning patiently explained, this is luck, not because I am greedy for life and afraid of death, on that battlefield, the enemy has so many masters, and they are here to kill people, even if they are greedy for life and afraid of death, it will not work.
There were still people who were not convinced, and there were more and more people around, Jiang Ning had to say again, it was a battlefield with many Xuan Fetus, Spirit Infants, and Human Immortal Periods, how terrifying it was, you can see for yourself.
Jiang Ning had escaped from the side path, far from the ravine.
After he came back, he asked Dao Hanqing to report to Ye Chen, and Ye Chen sent some clever people to inspect it...... There is no need to look at it, and in a few days, the merchants who pass by will also bring the situation to Licheng.
The corpses on the battlefield were destroyed together, but the battlefield was still a mess, at least a dozen peaks were destroyed, and the mountains and forests on both sides were also destroyed in pieces.
Another person asked, "Why is it only being announced now?"
"It's not that it's announced now, it's that the enemy is too strong, so strong that all the forces in Licheng combined, don't dare to provoke them. Therefore, after reporting to the city lord, I immediately went out of the city and hid for a month, until the imperial court sent an envoy and various elders arrived, and I returned to the city, and the city lord's palace revealed the truth with a notice. Think about it, the dozens of enemies above the Xuantian stage are all fierce desolate cultivators and demonic cultivators, what will they use to defeat them when they break into the city of Licheng? What will be the consequences?"
Jiang Ning was still sympathetic at first, but later made this very small number of people impatient, and after finishing speaking, he squeezed everyone away and went to the barracks.
"Second brother, it's nothing, right?" Dao Hanqing asked worriedly.
It's nothing?
Jiang Ning was painting, and those people were identifying.
It is still impossible to confirm it by painting alone, and besides, it is far away, and the painting is also distorted.
But Jiang Ning also provided some clues, such as the names of several people, Yishi Jie, Blood Old Demon, Wild Old Demon, etc.
Jiang Ning also talked about the magic weapons used by some people.
At least a few people were confirmed, and then according to the communication of these people, as well as the appearance of Jiang Ning's drawing, let Elder Wang and them identify more than a dozen people. There are more than a dozen terrifying people, and there are people from the Demon Palace, people from the Heavenly Absolute Gate, the Blood Demon Gate, and a few masters of the big tribes in the depths of the Northern Wilderness.
General Lu Wei listened to the names of these forces, his scalp was numb, and then said to Jiang Ning: "You can escape, even I admire it." ”
It's not over.
The desolate clan is a little better, mainly demon cultivation, it stands to reason that Jiang Ning is just an ant, and the Yue Dynasty also knows the news, so there is no need to attack Jiang Ning. But these demon cultivators have a strong personality, and no one can figure out what they think.
Next, there may be endless inquiries. But the water behind the scenes is too muddy to get out, and it is equally dangerous.
But what worries Jiang Ning the most is that the people from the Sword Hall will also come to Licheng, and it will be really difficult for him to do it at that time.
Jiang Ning didn't say anything, just shook his head.
The knife is also annoying.
The appointment of the low-level generals of the three teams, he did not compromise, and the contradictions with the deputy generals in the battalion became more and more intensified.
But he also knows that he must not compromise, as long as he compromises, he will be completely hollowed out in the future.
"I'll talk to him in a few days......" Jiang Ning said, if he couldn't communicate by himself, then he had to beg City Lord Ye to transfer this deputy general to his camp.
"Let's not talk about that, let's eat. ”
The two left the barracks.
"Brother, you can't do this battalion. ”
"Where can't you?"
"This is a military camp, but it looks like a vegetable market, and the military discipline is not strict, how can we train a strong army?"
"I know too, but who listens to me when I give the order?"
The two casually found a small restaurant to eat, and when they returned home, it was Jiang Ning's house.
The son got close to Jiang Ning, and the Jiang family did not reject it. However, her husband was seriously injured during the attack on Taiping City, and although Jiang did not hate it, he would not care for Jiang Ning and Aunt Li's mother and daughter. Although Jiang Ning and Jiang had been together for a while before the knife insurance died, the two sides could not talk about hatred or love.
Of course, there is no need for Jiang Ning to recognize his father and mother, but the etiquette must be observed.
Jiang Ning stepped forward and made a gesture: "The child visits his mother-in-law." ”
"It's all your own family, no need to be polite," Jiang wanted to pour tea for them.
"I'll do it," Dao Hanqing snatched the teapot.
"Bai'er, I heard that you are in big trouble this time?"
"yes, but I got out by luck. ”
"That's good, that's good. ”
The two talked, and the politeness was obviously more than concern. Dao Hanqing was also helpless, he made a cup of tea for Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning took a sip and looked around.
At that time, when he bought this house, he didn't have much money in his hand, this house was small in area, and it was bound by the back mountain, and the vision behind and on the side was not wide, but the price was not expensive, and it was not far from the city lord's mansion, so Jiang Ning bought it.
Later, Aunt Li's mother and daughter were taken over, although there were three people, Li Meng was not very old at the time, and the three of them had no luggage, so they could barely make do with it. Aunt Li runs a wine shop, Li Meng enters Sanshanmen, and Jiang Ning lives alone, which is more than enough.
Now that Jiang and Dao Hanqing are living in, the space immediately becomes tight due to the large amount of luggage.
Jiang Ning said: "Brother, find the daughter of a good family as soon as possible, once you get married, you can expand this house again." ”
"Bai'er, someone also asks for your favor. Jiang interjected on the side.
In the afternoon, there was a mess in front of Jiangning's cave, and only a few people had a bad mentality, even if they had a bad mentality, what could they do with Jiangning? Although the cultivated son of Dao Bao is low, he is also a good candidate in other aspects, at least many ordinary people can take a fancy to Jiangning, so some people ask the Jiang family for marriage, and some people propose to Aunt Li. I can't figure out who can be the master of Jiang Ning.
"Stepmother, I'm still young, I'll talk about it in two years. Jiang Ning immediately refused.
In the current situation, he did not dare to leave Licheng. However, after two years, he will inevitably leave Licheng, either enter the Sword Palace, or return to the south, how can he start a family here?
This lukewarm atmosphere made Jiang Ning a little embarrassed, and he stood up: "Lord Stepmother, it's not early, I'll go back and rest." ”
"I'll give it to you. Dao Hanqing walked out with Jiang Ning.
"Mother hasn't seen you for a long time......"
"Brother, it's okay. ”
The difference between intimacy and alienation is the mentality of normal people.
turned a corner and saw Li Meng sitting in front of the cave. Seeing them coming, Li Meng looked at Dao Hanqing angrily: "Brother Qing, I didn't expect you to be more insidious than those people in the Dao family!"
